The economic history of colonial Bechuanaland has generally been under researched. In this article we aim at redeeming this situation by constructing real wage series for various occupations 1900-1960 using records from the colonial archives. We calculate nominal wages, subsistence consumption baskets and real wages. Our mapping means that we fill an existing knowledge gap. Throughout the text we

Introduktion: Svår akut pankreatit (SAP) är ännu behäftad med hög morbiditet och mortalitet. Initial vätskeresuscitering är av stort värde; nivån liksom nutritionsform och kaloritillförsel är oklar. Retrospektivt studerades korrelation vätsketillförsel och nutrition mot utfall vid SAP. Metod: 179 patienter med SAP, definierat som förekomst av pankreasnekros, CRP > 150, lång vårdtid eller mortalit

Many philosophers have claimed that extensive or additive measurement is incompatible with the existence of "higher values", any amount of which is better than any amount of some other value. In this paper, it is shown that higher values can be incorporated in a non-standard model of extensive measurement, with values represented by sets of ordered pairs of real numbers, rather than by single real

Historical analysis of missiological issues arising from the World Missionary Conference, Edinburgh 1910, in comparison with missiological priorities in the international planning of the centenary conference, Edinburgh 2010

It consists of a number of disparate stories which are presented as intertwined fragments. In this article I argue that the novel as a whole creates its meaning in the manner of a large-scale metaphor, in which the different stories s

A method for fast and precise measurement of effciency in induction heating processes is evaluated and tested. The method, based on thermal imaging is presented with advantages and drawbacks based on results from coupled transient simulations and from experimental results. The experiments are performed using two different induction heating platforms, equipped with high quality measurement equipmen

The material evidence left from the cult of Sabazios is meagre, apart from sculpted bronze hands dating to the Roman Empire. The hand is held in a certain pose, the so-called benedictio Latina gesture, and the hand was often covered with depictions of various objects and symbols. The bronze hands were probably attached to staffs and carried around in processions. This practice most likely spread v
